Concordia College was an educational institution of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod (LCMS) whose main purpose was to prepare men to enter one of the synod's seminaries. It was founded as a German-style gymnasium in Perry County, Missouri, in 1839. It was moved to St. Louis, Missouri, in 1847, and ultimately to Fort Wayne, Indiana, in 1861. In 1935, the high school department of the school was separated from the junior college to form Concordia Lutheran High School. Concordia College was closed in 1957 when the LCMS opened Concordia Senior College on a new campus in Fort Wayne..The former campus was purchased by the Indiana Institute of Technology.
